Am I out of the clear for miscarriage?

I'm 16 weeks 1day according to LMP. I am a worrier like most moms to be and have been super stressed thus far due to a number of things going on in my life. So my question is, am I out of the clear for miscarriage or can it still happen? Anyone have a miscarriage after 16 weeks? Why?

A miscarriage can happen at anytime during a pregnancy. However there are 2 times that your chances decrease significantly. One is when you see the heartbeat on ultrasound and the other is after the first trimester. So you can take a deep breath! Congrats!

Don't want to freak you out but nothing in pregnancy is safe until the baby comes out kicking and screaming and even then things can go wrong. I went in to get induced at 40 weeks and 3 days with a perfect healthy baby boy and ended up having a c section which led to him being still born because of a cord accident.

My cousin and his wife were due just a week ahead of me and my husband and when they went in to do the anatomy ultrasound at around 19.5 weeks there was no heartbeat the baby had died. They due not know what happened or why. Nothing is a sure bet but it does decrease like rnmomma2013 said. Try not to worry and enjoy your pregnancy. I still worry and I am 29.5 weeks. I don't think I will stop until I am holding him.
